I am passionate about this democracy. But people are increasingly alienated from the polarized political discourse that dominates the country. I believe we must actively reach out to voters to tell them their vote matter. Getting out the vote is the most important thing to a representative democracy and we must work to increase voter turnout. This includes promoting ranked choice voting and moving all elections to even years.
